Since comic characters usually aren't too concerned with Halloween costumes, let's talk about how you dress your characters normally!

A character's outfit can convey the character's personality as well as the world they live in, and even their occupation in some cases. As a bare minimum ...

The 2015 Drunk Duck Awards have officially begun!

The DD Awards are a great way to find new favourites on the site - every comic featured is bound to be pretty darn good! At the same time you can support your existing favourites by cheering on the winners. Discover some of ...

This is building a bit on ozoneocean's previous newspost on developing a sketch! For most comic artists, after having perfected a sketch (or at least getting it to an acceptable point) the next step is inking. I don't think I'm alone in saying this is one of ...
